Robust testing with generalized partial linear models for longitudinal data

By approximating the nonparametric component using a regression spline in generalized partial linear models (GPLM), robust generalized estimating equations (GEE), involving bounded score function and leverage-based weighting function, can be used to estimate the regression parameters in GPLM robustly for longitudinal data or clustered data. In this paper, score test statistics are proposed for testing the regression parameters with robustness, and their asymptotic distributions under the null hypothesis and a class of local alternative hypotheses are studied. The proposed score tests reply on the estimation of a smaller model without the testing parameters involved, and perform well in the simulation studies and real data analysis conducted in this paper.     

Cu-Ce(La)OX变换催化剂的制备和性能考察

本文对采用共沉淀法制备的Cu-Ce(La)Ox高温变换催化剂进行了研究．首先研究了中和pH值、中和温度、焙烧温度和方式对催化剂性能的影响，其次研究了CuO、CeO2和LaOx含量对催化剂性能的影响．5％CuO-CeO2-La(10％)Ox高温变换催化剂的最佳制备工艺条件为pH=11，中和温度为54℃，400C焙烧4h．催化剂的最佳配比组成为：CuO为20％、CeO2 70％、LaOx 10％．XRD晶相分析表明，5％Cu-Ce-La(10％)Ox催化剂中除了主相CeO2以外，还出现了Cu与La形成的钙钛矿型复合氧化物CuLaO2，且CuLaO2高度均匀地分散在主相CeOx中．还原态中除了CeO2、CuLaO2外，还出现了Cu单质，因此这类催化剂的活性中心不可能是简单的CuLaO2或Cu，从而使催化剂无论氧化态还是还原态都具有基本相同的活性，其活性位形态结构需要进一步研究．     

A modified random-effect procedure for combining risk difference in sets of 2×2 tables from clinical trials

Summary Meta-analyses of sets of clinical trials often combine risk differences from several 2×2 tables according to a random-effects model. The DerSimonian-Laird random-effects procedure, widely used for estimating the populaton mean risk difference, weights the risk difference from each primary study inversely proportional to an estimate of its variance (the sum of the between-study variance and the conditional within-study variance). Because those weights are not independent of the risk differences, however, the procedure sometimes exhibits bias and unnatural behavior. The present paper proposes a modified weighting scheme that uses the unconditional within-study variance to avoid this source of bias. The modified procedure has variance closer to that available from weighting by ideal weights when such weights are known. We studied the modified procedure in extensive simulation experiments using situations whose parameters resemble those of actual studies in medical research. For comparison we also included two unbiased procedures, the unweighted mean and a sample-size-weighted mean; their relative variability depends on the extent of heterogeneity among the primary studies. An example illustrates the application of the procedures to actual data and the differences among the results.

编制听力技能测试的核心问题

在编制听力技能测试时,有很多问题需要考虑,如理论构建、测试任务、测试的真实性、照本朗读话语或即兴话语、分离式或综合性考试、信度和效度等。要根据听力或接受技能测试的性质、测试的目的和内容,对以上问题逐一解决。解决了这些关键问题才能确保听力测试的效度、信度达到期望的水平,才能保证测试及测试结果可靠、可以解释,使考生及其他与测试利益攸关的人放心。

大学英语多项选择考试模式面临挑战

大比例多项选择考试模式在大学英语四、六级考试中己实施多年 ,它对推动我国的外语教育功不可没。但在我国的国情发生了巨大变化、整个国家正朝着国际化社会快速发展、社会各界急需实用型外语人才的今天 ,多年不变的大比例多项选择考试模式己经显示出它的不足。特别是IELTS;ESOL等国际实用性测试模式不断引入我国 ,它的确面临着改进和完善的挑战。     

试论新约的死亡观

新约圣经对于死亡有其独特的信念与看法。概括说来 ,新约对死亡的看法包含着几个方面的含义 :灵性的死、旧我的死及身体的死。本文主要探讨了后两个方面的意义 ,认为正是这两个方面构成了新约死亡观的主要特征。首先 ,人可以活着经历自己 (旧我 )的死 ;如果从生存论层面来解释其末世论的意义的话 ,那么这种自我认同的转换正表明了旧我之死的深刻含义。其次 ,身体的死如果意味着人在此世之存在的结束的话 ,新约并没有将其看作是人之生命及其身体的结束。死亡乃意味着是个人生命或身体存在形态的转折点

A simple procedure for the selection of significant effects

Summary.  Given a large number of test statistics, a small proportion of which represent departures from the relevant null hypothesis, a simple rule is given for choosing those statistics that are indicative of departure. It is based on fitting by moments a mixture model to the set of test statistics and then deriving an estimated likelihood ratio. Simulation suggests that the procedure has good properties when the departure from an overall null hypothesis is not too small.
